Thanks to everyone for your comments.
- Many of these were shot wide-open (I've posted a link to a much better image gallery w/ details of each shot)
- I am using a UV filter and lens hood
Picasa Web Albums - MH - Pentax D FA 1... -You can view as a slide show (I've put some of the exif details right in the captions) or download the full JPG.
All of these are using the K-7 with the D FA 100mm macro.
I'm still trying to find out whether my macro is a good or bad copy. I am already sending in my DA* 16-50mm to Pentax for a bad front focus issue and am wondering whether to include this one with it.

Hehe there was no blue light source on the jacket, that was sunlight. That's the problem.
Re: blurry -- don't have a tripod but I'll try taking some better shots.

Hey everyone,
I was very excited to receive my K-7, DA* 16-50mm 2.8 and D FA 100mm macro 2.8 today . It's my second DSLR kit... this spring I bought a Canon XSi but decided to upgrade to the Pentax... love the weather sealing, compact body, HD video etc.
I'm concerned that I may have a bad copy of the 100mm macro lens, but I'm not sure. A lot of my images have purple/blue fringes would seem to me to be quite obvious/distracting if blown up or printed at any decent size. However I haven't had a camera for 2 months, and I'm not experienced to begin with, so maybe I'm looking too closely? I know that some chromatic aberration is normal, but I don't recall seeing anything like this even on my ultra-cheap EF-S Canon lenses, so I thought I would check here to see what you guys think. Any comments would be much appreciated .
Below are some screenshots from within Lightroom.

Nylon string (this one is not extreme but still, I was surprised to see any purple in this image at all):
